"Yes, Mnemoysne."
He leaned in, losing his human proportions quickly as he fell towards Miriam's arm.
Her hand plunged into the clay, which reached under her shirt and up towards her shoulder, stopping just short of the actual joint as it thinned out and spread across her arm. It sank into the nooks and crannies, aligning itself with the crook of her elbow, the ridges on her knuckles, even around and underneath her fingernails. It was a very precise, very close fit, to the point where she could see her own veins slightly pushing the clay upwards and out.
At first, it was a cold and wet sensation, like plunging her hand into muck, but that quickly evaporated as the clay re-formed itself into, well...
Skin. Warm, human skin, on the outside. Poking at it would feel just like poking at flesh -- the sensation muted somewhat, but still tangible through the WillArm, so it wasn't blocking out all the tactile sensation. It didn't feel like skin on the inside, however; it was more...artificial than that. Like...neoprene rubber, perhaps. That wasn't quite right, either, but it was closer. It was tight, for certain, but it wasn't cutting off circulation or restricting her movement, as a few test flexes would make clear. It was also a bit warm, perhaps -- not uncomfortably so, but it was pretty airtight.
As she watched and flexed, the 'arm' shifted. It started as a pretty fairly typical feminine arm, than bulged out to show impressive musculature. It cycled again into an old, wrinkly, hairy arm, before ending up smooth with a complicated (and detailed, and rather specific, with images that looked like XU but...not the one she was familiar with...) tattoo sleeve, going up her arm and just short of the shoulder, where the arm 'stopped'.
